Air Cargo Pack (Guyana) Inc., a Georgetown-based
air cargo service company, has completed its first cargo flight from Bogotá,
Colombia to Guyana, the company announced in a statement Saturday.(8 Aug) The aircraft arrived at the CheddiJagan
International Airport (CJIA) on Friday,7th August, in
what the company described as a major milestone in its efforts to strengthen
air cargo connectivity between Guyana and Latin America. The flight
demonstrates Air Cargo Pack’s ability to coordinate direct cargo movements
between the two South American countries.
Air Cargo Pack (Guyana) Inc. is licensed to move cargo between Guyana,
Colombia, Panama, Mexico and Brazil, giving Guyanese businesses greater access
to key Latin American markets. The company said the successful Bogotá flight
represents an important step toward developing these regional trade corridors
and creating faster, more efficient options for businesses importing into and
exporting from Guyana. Air Cargo Pack said it is developing cargo solutions for
importers, exporters, freight forwarders and companies requiring transportation
of general cargo, fresh produce and perishables, agricultural products, oil and
gas equipment, industrial cargo, oversized cargo and other specialised or
time-sensitive shipments.
Director of Air Cargo
Pack (Guyana) Inc., Stefan John, said in the release: “This is an extremely
important milestone for Air Cargo Pack. It represents more than simply landing
an aircraft in Guyana. We have demonstrated that we can successfully connect
businesses in Guyana directly with Colombia and create new opportunities for
trade between our markets.”
He added that the company’s vision extends beyond
Colombia. Noting that Air Cargo Pack is licensed to move cargo between Guyana,
Colombia, Panama, Mexico and Brazil, John said the goal is to progressively
develop these connections based on the needs of the market. “Our focus now is
on building consistent cargo volumes and creating reliable air cargo options
for businesses that want greater access to Latin America,” he said. The Bogotá-Guyana route has drawn interest from
other operators as well. Colombian cargo carrier Aerosucre S.A. announced plans
in 2025 to begin regular flights connecting CJIA with Bogotá’s El Dorado
International Airport, citing growing demand for the transport of perishable
products, industrial goods and e-commerce shipments between the two countries.
Following the successful first flight, Air Cargo
Pack said it is now actively engaging businesses throughout Guyana to identify
their import and export requirements and build cargo volumes for upcoming
operations. Businesses importing products from Colombia, Panama, Mexico or
Brazil — or seeking to export Guyanese products into these markets — are
encouraged to contact the Air Cargo Pack commercial team.
